Note: Just to let those of you who have not played whatever FF Cloud was in, Zack was Cloud's friend in that soldier group...or something along those lines...at least, I think so. I haven't actually played it myself... x.x So, no OCs in this story. :D

Roxas' thought to Sora/Olette
Sora's thoughts to Roxas
Two Heads are Better than one, right? (Thinking something together)
Angels in Flight: Eien no Tobira
Chapter 39/4: Hyalopterous and Luciferous Angel
'Roxas?!? Roxas, are you there? I kinda need your help, Roxas!' Sora panicked, trying to keep the Heartless away from Kairi with his trusty blitzball he still had on him from practice. "Riku, what are these things?" He asked. Roxas had told him something about them once, but they would just not die.
Of course, Riku was creaming the things with his keyblade. 'That's it!' Sora thought, 'I need a keyblade so I can protect Kairi! Roxas has a keyblade or six, doesn't he?'
"I'll tell you later." The silver-haired teen mumbled, slashing away at the ant-like creatures. Sora looked behind him, to see Kairi staring at an unnaturally big Heartless. It lunged after her, and she screamed. Sora ran in between the Heartless and Kairi, the only thing in between him and the Heartless now being the blitzball. 'Roxas!! Are you there?!? I need your help, Roxas! I have to protect Kairi!' Sora yelled in his head. Just as the Heartless smacked the blitzball out of the way and was about to attack...
The will of the Second Angel shall awaken...now, resound!
The first thought Sora had was, 'Roxas? You ARE there! Help me out!' . Then, a flash of light enveloped the area. When the light had disappeared, all the Heartless had been obliterated and Sora's beloved blitzball was gone, and in it's place was a silver keyblade. 'Thanks, bro.' He said, marveling over the keyblade in his hand. He didn't think much of it; he assumed it was one of Roxas'.
"Thank you so much, Sora!" Kairi shouted, hugging him briefly. He laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head.
"Hehe, no problem..." He said, then turned to Riku, who was staring at them. "Riku, what were they and what did they come here for?" 'I mean, I remember Roxas telling me about them once...but I've seem to have forgetten...' Sora thought, then shook his head.
"They were agents of darkness. They mistook Kairi for someone else, which is why they attacked us." Riku said, crossing his arms as his keyblade disappeared.
"How do you know all this stuff, Riku?" Kairi asked quietly, seeming a bit shaken up. She glanced around nervously, and skated closer to the guys. "Riku?" she repeated, skating closer to him. However, he moved away from her, so she felt dejected and slowly skated back to Sora.
"What I'm more worried about is that voice I heard before the flash." Riku said, boring his eyes into Sora's, which made him really uncomfortable.
'Roxas, I think he DOES know about you and me!' Sora shouted. But how did Riku hear Roxas...they only contacted each other in their minds...unless Riku was...
"Me too." Kairi spoke up, "What was with that whole 'Second Angel' stuff? Also...the voice sounded kind of familiar..." They both looked at Sora expectantly.
"Hey, I have no more of an idea than you guys do! What makes you think I know anything about this?" Sora asked, backing up slightly, 'Roxas! What was the whole deal with that message, anyway? Do you have a speaker or something that can just turn on that I don't know about?' No response. 'ROXAS!!!'
There was a silence between the trio before Kairi turned to Riku and said, "Riku...they said they were after me because they mistook me for someone else. Will they come after me again?"
"No, they won't." He shook his head. "They know now you aren't her."
"Her? Who did they mistake Kairi for? How do you know all this, Riku?" Sora asked curiously, scratching his head. He didn't know why Riku would be so knowledgeable about these types of things...and why he even wielded a keyblade.
"...I don't know that much. I only know what I know because it's information that's been passed down through my family." Riku shrugged, and then looked at the time on the big clock tower that loomed ominously over Twilight Town, "I have to go now. I will see you guys tomorrow, alright?"
"See ya!"
"Later!"
They waved at their silver-haired friend, watching him walk away until he disappeared into the twilight. Sora(the silver keyblade disappearing) turned back towards Kairi after Riku was no longer in sight.
It was just them...alone. With no one around. Just them...together. Alone
"Sora, can I ask you a question?" Kairi asked abruptly, breaking him out of whatever thoughts he was having about him and Kairi being alone together. Which were probably good thoughts anyway, because if you knew anything about Sora it was that he was a good boy.
"Huh?" He blinked, processing her question and then answering, "Oh yeah, sure. What is it, Kai?" He wanted to take back his words as soon as they left his mouth. 'I'm using the affectionate nicknames already, and she's only known me for a day! I am so stupid!' He then continued to admonish himself afterwards.
Kairi giggled, "Do you think it would be weird if I asked you to meet my mom?"
"H-h-huh? W-WHA...W-WHAT?" Sora spluttered, in awe that she had just asked him that. She turned stark red and shook her head vigorously, shaking her hands as well.
"No, no, no, no, no!" She said quickly, "Y-You've got it all wrong, Sora! I don't want you to meet my mother for that reason, I don't really like you that way! ('Ouch...' Sora thought, 'Did she have to say it like that?') My mother is a hairdresser, and you have very unique hair. She'd love to see it."
"Oh...I see..." Sora said, feeling awkward as he rubbed the back of his head. Of course, he knew that he had wacky hair--and the fact that it was all natural made it even weirder. The last time he had actually tried to straighten his hair(with help from Olette, of course) turned into a disaster and made him look like a pancake-esque Rock star.
"So?" Kairi tilted her head and laced her hands behind her back, looking up at him.
Sora, not wanting to show his disappointment('Sorrow is contagious!' Aerith had always told him when he was sad, 'But so is your smile! Okay, Sora?'), smiled cheerfully and linked arms with the girl, "Off to the yellow brick road we go!" He said in a sing-song voice.
Kairi giggled, singing along with him, "We're off to see the hairdresser, the wonderful hairdresser of Twilight Town! Because, because, because, because..." She was alarmed by Sora's...childness. Would normal sixteen-year-olds go skipping(skating in Kairi's case) off into the horizon(literally) singing a song from a play? Most certainly not. Well, in all actuality, they may be crazy enough to do such a thing but without accusations of being on drugs? Nope, never. Kairi would have felt embarrassed if she were doing this with someone else, but somehow she did not care around Sora. There were just some people in the world that had that kind of air where if you acted your silliest, you'd feel comfortable around them, plus they'd still manage to look goofier than you even if you ran around in your underwear singing SpongeBob SquarePants' theme song.
After around ten minutes, Kairi reached a small little house wedged in between other homes of various sizes. She let go of Sora's arm and reached into her pocket, fishing out a pair of keys which she then fiddled around with until she found the right one. After opening the door to the home, she skated inside. "I'm home!" She shouted, pulling Sora inside the home.
Either the floor was poorly built or the house may have been built on a slant, because Sora felt a little off balance in the small place. Some of the plaster on the walls had broken off, revealing the boards underneath.
He followed the auburn-haired girl as she skated into the tiny kitchen, which only had room for a few cabinets, a sink, some drawers, a counter, and an oven. By the way the cabinets looked, Sora could easily estimate that this house was at least a hundred or so years old. Which would explain the poor construction and why it looked like a simple breeze would cause the obliteration of this home.
"Oh, good!" In came Kairi's mother, who looked a lot more lively than when Sora had seen her at the church.
"Mom, this is my friend Sora. Sora, this is my mom." Kairi introduced them, Sora bowing because he wanted to really impress Ms. Leonheart.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Sora!" Rinoa said, doing the Destiny Islands tradition of kissing-on-the cheek(Sora made a mental note to go there one day). After the introductions were complete, Kairi took the liberty to say something.
"Mom, look at Sora's hair." She said. Rinoa stared at his hair for a moment. 'Come on,' Sora thought, 'They're acting like it's a masterpiece!'
"Hmm." Rinoa rubbed her chin in thought, circling around him, "You do indeed have very...unique hair. What product do you use?"
"Product?...Uh..." Sora didn't know what she meant exactly, "I use shampoo..." Both of the females burst into laughter at this response, which, in turn, colored Sora's cheeks pink.
"She meant what kind of hair gel you use to make your hair spike like that." Kairi said, flicking one of his spikes which caused it to bounce up and down like a spring. That made her laugh, "Your hair would make great entertainment for children."
By the way she said it, he couldn't tell whether it was a good or bad thing. But he assumed it was a good thing by the look on her face. "Actually, it's all natural."
They both gasped as if Juicy Couture had just declared that it was uncool to breathe. "NATURAL?!?" They exclaimed, and then looked at each other for a long period of time before staring back at Sora, who, quite frankly, remembered a situation quite like this except it included the odd behaviors of giggly girls. Usually, the way of the fangirl(as Sora and Riku had learned on their excursions throughout Twilight Town) was to either gasp and attack immediately, stalk them, OR stare at them for about a half hour or so then wait until one of them asks what the heck is wrong with them and THEN attack.
"Y-Yeah..." He stuttered, backing away slowly, relieved that they didn't move closer to him when they did so, "...It's one hundred percent natural. Well, actually, it's genetics. All of the males on the paternal side of my family have spiky hair." It was true. Cloud had spiky hair, and Cloud had told him that his father and the fathers before him all had spiky hair. I guess it was that one trait that really defined the Hikaris.
"Genetics?...Does your father, by chance, have spiky blonde hair? Married to a pretty brunette with vivid green eyes?" Rinoa asked, a hopeful look shining in her eyes.
Sora nodded slowly, "Yeah. My father's name is Cloud, my mother is Aerith Str--"
"Oh, I could tell! You look remarkably like your father!" Rinoa exclaimed, hugging Sora so tightly it was constricting his lungs. However, he didn't want to be rude so he put up with his loss of breath.
Kairi, noticing that his face was turning a blueberry blue, pried her mother away from the poor boy. "Mom, how do you know his parents?" She questioned, tilting her head slightly.
"Aerith, Cloud, Squall, this other person named Zack and I were all the best of friends since Preschool. Most say that friends often separate and go their own ways, but we were inseparable until Zack moved to Traverse Town, and Cloud and Aerith moved to Twilight Town. Squall and I stayed in our hometown of Destiny Islands." Rinoa explained.
"Daddy..." At the mention of her father's name, Kairi sobbed silently, shaking more and more with each tear. Sora felt terrible, he wanted to comfort her in some way but he knew that would be really awkward form someone she had just met, so he refrained from doing so.
"Kairi, why don't you go upstairs, dear." Rinoa said, ruffling Kairi's hair affectionately, "I need to talk to Sora, I'll come talk to you after we're done chatting, okay?" The girl nodded and ran upstairs. When Kairi was out of their vicinity, Rinoa turned to Sora with a serious look on her face. "You don't have any older brothers, right?"
"Yeah," Sora debated on whether to tell her if Olette was his biological sister or not. He decided to do it, since she seemed pretty trustworthy and she knew his parents, "I have a sister who is...two minutes younger, I believe. Her name is Olette."
"So then, you obviously inherited 'Ven Highwind'," She used air quotes while she said the name Roxas used, "right?"
Sora looked surprised. "Wait, so you know that Ven was me the whole time? And you know Ven's not actually Ven?"
Rinoa chuckled, "I was one of Cloud's best friends. I, ever the secret-keeper, was the first person he consulted to, because he was debating when to tell Aerith about it and needed my advice. He told me about everything...about Roxas and his dedication to Nadiné, everything..."
"Actually, I believe it was Nadine, not Nadiné." Sora mused, then said, "So...if you're dad's best friend, then how come I've never met Kairi? I mean, I've met Uncle Zack thirty-billion times. He comes over for the holidays all the time." Sora said, crossing his arms. That was one of the few people outside the family that knew of their secret.
"Unlike me, Kairi cannot keep a secret for more than an hour. If you two were friends, eventually the secret would come out, and Kairi would probably spill it." Rinoa explained. Sora nodded in understanding. "Oh, before you go, there's something you need to know about your father..."
Sora gulped, not liking the tone she was using. He had a feeling there was going to be some and news, so he steeled himself for it.
"You or Roxas may not take to this information kindly. Are you both ready for it?" She asked.
"Well, Roxas is asleep, but I am as ready as ready can be!" Sora chirped, only receiving an odd look from Ms. Leonheart.
"Asleep? He can fall asleep...?" Rinoa asked, tilting her head slightly and crossing her arms.
"Of course! I've been receiving all kinds of weird questions today. Like if he could feel..." Sora laughed to himself and shook his head.
"But..." She started, then shook her head, "If Cloud hasn't told you, I shouldn't be the one to break in the news. Anyway, about your father...you heard that Squall...my husband, died, yes?"
"I'm sorry for your loss..." Sora sighed, frowning. He had not really dealt with death before; both pairs of his grandparents had died before he was born.
Rinoa smiled brightly, glad that he was at least respectful. "It's alright. You see...what happened...Heartless attacked our home. Squall of course, had the obligation to protect both Kairi and I...I fought too, but..." she sighed, brushing some hair behind her ear, "...What happened was that the Heartless outnumbered us by a very large amount. Squall and I couldn't protect Kairi by ourselves. As if God had sent them, Cloud and Zack appeared to help us. Squall told me to take Kairi and get out of there. Cloud, Squall and Zack make an especially formidable team...neither of the three goes down easy. They're as tough as nails. As we left, a blonde man came out of the sea of Heartless. He had ice cold blue eyes and wielded the same weapon as Squall--a gunblade; it was just a different model. As Kairi and I left, we both saw them strike each other...Squall leaving a scar on the blonde's face and..." Rinoa closed her eyes, unable to continue.
"I understand." Sora said, gulping, "So you're saying...that..."
"Yes. Though it's not confirmed...we're not sure whether Cloud and Zack have come back yet. It's been almost five days and no sign of them, so I..." She smiled sadly, and Sora returned the enthusiasm. She glanced at the clock, then ushering Sora out of the home, "You should get going...but if you hear any news..."
Sora nodded, promising Ms.Leonheart she'd be the first to know if he found out anything. As he walked home, he tried to contact Roxas again, wanting to ask him about the ominous message and to thank him for giving him the keyblade...and about the Heartless! 'Hey, Roxas. You there?'
'...Reboot complete. All systems online.' Sora raised his eyebrow at what his partner said. 'All systems online'? He sounded like a robot! Which was preposterous, Roxas was an angel. And angels weren't robots. Unless he was a mechanical angel, which was just...not a possibility. 'What do you WANT from my life, Sora?' Roxas moaned, and by the tone of his voice, you could tell he was irritated.
'I have a LOT of things to ask you since you've been asleep. Okay, how come when the Heartless attacked--' Sora started, but Roxas cut him off.
'HEARTLESS?!? In Twilight Town? Heartless would never attack Twilight Town; they know I'm here!' Well, it was safe to say Roxas was not asleep now.
'It's probably because you've been snoozing for so long. Anyway, what was up with that whole weird message that Kairi and Riku could hear?' Sora asked, making it to the train station where he then had to take the train to get back to his house.
'What are you talking about? I was never awake for the Heartless attack or whatever. Did anyone get harmed; who was there, how did you do?' Roxas asked, sounding semi-concerned. The other part of his tone was annoyance, probably because he was itching for some action. Two thousand years of inactivity(well, basically) really builds up energy.
'Yes you were! You were the one that gave me that keyblade to protect Kairi, remember? God, know I now what Mom means when she says old people have bad memories!' Sora grumbled, concentrated on their conversation too much to be paying attention to what the conductor of the train was yelling at him, and he missed the train.
'Hey! I have a better memory than you! I can remember every memory from my life two thousand years ago vividly, while you cannot even remember your seventh birthday! And, anyway, I never gave you a keyblade to protect Kairi! I just woke up when you rudely yelled at me!' Roxas yelled back.
'Yes, you did give me a keyblade!'
'No I did not!'
'Yes you did!'
'No I did not!'
'But it was YOUR voice that said it!'
'I didn't say anything!'
'Yes you did!'
'No I didn't! I know what I said because I know when I said it, and I didn't say anything!'
'Yes you did!'
and they continued like that...alllll the way back to their peaceful adobe...
-
"Mom!! Tifa!!" Sora yelled, opening the door to their home, "Roxas is being mean to me!" He complained, like he often did when he was younger.
Tifa, Aerith, and Olette were assembled in the living room conversing in high-pitched tones which could only mean Olette was talking about boys to them(after all, Tifa and Aerith wanted to be hip) which could only mean that delinquent was involved in that conversation. However, when Sora burst through the room, all three stopped talking.
"Why is he being mean?" Tifa asked.
"Because!" Sora said, "Riku and I were attacked by fangirls, right? And then we were wandering around and we found Kairi! So, we were all talking to each other when Heartless attacked!"
"HEARTLESS?!?" Both Tifa and Aerith exclaimed. Olette, not knowing what those were, remained calm.
"That's impossible! Heartless haven't attacked Twilight Town...nothing demonic has ever attacked Twilight Town! Usually, they would just concentrate on us...but they ambushed you?" Tifa asked, her and Aerith exchanging worried glances.
Sora nodded, "Yeah. So I asked him for help because this olympian-sized Heartless was going to attack Kairi! So he told me something really weird...like, 'The will of the Second Angel is coming' or something, and then a keyblade appeared in place of my blitzball! It was really awesome, but both Kairi and Riku heard him say it, too!"
'I was asleep during the whole thing!' Roxas yelled, 'This is unfair accusing! I never said anything, and I never gave him anything!'
"Sora, have you ever thought that it wasn't Roxas who said anything? Can you summon the keyblade you're talking about by yourself?" Aerith asked.
"But it was Roxas' voice!" Sora said, then sighed and held out his hand. Not really knowing how to summon a keyblade, he just thought about protecting Kairi again. Lo and behold, the silver keyblade that had saved him from imminent doom earlier in his hand.
'The Kingdom Key?!?' Roxas seem startled, 'That was lost a long, long time ago...Why has it shown up now?...'
"Roxas is right, the Kingdom Key hasn't been in use in two thousand years..." Tifa mused, oblivious to the fact that Aerith was confused(remember, she can't hear Roxas like everyone else can) and Olette was trying to understand, but the conversation was going too fast for her to follow.
"What are you guys talking about? This isn't Roxas' keyblade? But only angels can wield keyblades! I'm not an angel!" Sora exclaimed, throwing the keyblade at the wall. However, it just disappeared and reappeared back in his hand. "I guess it is mine..."
"Which means that you have wings." Aerith commented, then smiled softly, "It's a miracle, it's nothing you should be ashamed about. To think that you inherited a trait from your great ancestor is unbelievable...I thought any angelic traits would have been washed out by now."
"Wings?" Sora repeated, eyes widening, "You mean like...flying?"
Tifa nodded, "Yes. You probably have another keyblade, too. Your other keyblade will come to you in time, Sora."
'I told you it wasn't me!' Roxas said, huffing angrily.
"You should apologize, Sora." Olette, who had been quiet for the whole conversation, spoke up. "I'm kind of worried about those beings that Sora mentioned--Heartless? Will they attack again? What were they after?"
"Who was with you, Sora? How did you fend off the Heartless?" Tifa asked.
"Well, it was really weird. You see, Riku has a keyblade, too, and he began beating the things up. He seemed to know a lot about them, too. He said they were agents of darkness...and they attacked us because they mistook Kairi for some girl." Sora shrugged.
'They mistook Kairi for some girl...?' Roxas mused aloud, then gasped. 'They mistook her for Naminé!'
"How can you be so sure?" Olette asked, tilting her head slightly at Roxas' confidence. He seemed absolutely positive that Kairi was mistaken for Naminé.
'Think about it. Back in the day, Umiri, who was replaced by past Kairi, was the Seventh Princess of Heart. When past Kairi died, Naminé took her place to balance out light and darkness. When Seifer died...or...hibernated, it was when Naminé was the Seventh Princess of Heart, so he and his minions, the Heartless, think that Naminé's reincarnate is still the Seventh Princess of Heart. So, when present-day Kairi came around, it was only natural for her to assume the position she had in her past life. Obviously the Heartless attacked her because they thought she was Naminé.' Roxas finished, happy with his explanation.
Sora scratched his head again, "But why would Seifer want to attack Naminé in the first place?"
'Because Seifer 'loved' her. He probably wants her reincarnation because it's most likely that the reincarnation doesn't remember anything...Therefore he can officially 'marry' her this time around. Last time...' Roxas trailed off with a bitter tone in his voice, sighing.
"So this evil Lord of Darkness is back, along with the Heartless? Then I guess it makes sense as to why Heartless have only recently started attacking." Sora said, sighing along with his counterpart, "Wait!" Sora then remembered what Rinoa told him, "So then the guy that killed Squall was Seifer?!?"
The girls looked alarmed. "Sora, how did you know?" Tifa asked, seeming bewildered that he had found out their 'secret'.
"We tried as best as possible to keep it a secret from you..." Aerith frowned, placing her hands in her lap.
"Wow, I never guessed that SORA would perceive this." Olette mumbled, and Sora sent an angry glare to his sister, who just returned it.
"Rinoa told me. She told me that Uncle Zack, you, father, and her were all best friends when you were younger, but when you all moved you kinda lost connection. And then she said that her home got attacked by Heartless, and father and Uncle Zack appeared and that's when Rinoa said she saw a blonde guy appear from the sea of darkness and kill Squall..." Sora sighed sadly, about to continue when Roxas interrupted.
'Blonde guy?!? That has to be Seifer. Okay, he is definitely back and looking for Naminé, which must mean she's alive. If he finds her first, I might as well kiss my only chance with reuniting with her goodbye...' Roxas said, sighing as well.
"So, we better keep a sharp lookout for her! Right, Roxas?" Olette smiled, wondering what the girl looked like. Or maybe she didn't look the same. Or maybe she did, but just had a different name. It was like looking through a stack of needles for a single strand of black hair.
'Right...'
-
The next day at school, Sora chatted up a storm between him and Kairi during homeroom. They had a really good connection.(Surprisingly) He had learned that Kairi loved to cheer/watch Blitzball games, and Blitzball players were her favorite. Sora exaggerated a teeny bit, saying that he was the focal point of the whole team. He also made sure she knew he was the star of the Track team and one of the fastest runners in the entire school(which was no lie, Sora was fast when he wanted to be). What he learned about her was that she loved to dance/cheerlead, she had made the Varsity cheerleading team in Twilight Town, she taught little kids ballet at a dance studio, and she also ice skated. When she had leisurely time, she helped her mother at the hair salon she worked at. Talk about a social butterfly!
While talking to Kairi, Sora made sure that Olette wasn't talking to anybody suspicious, either. She was talking to Penelo about the wonders of Marine Biology, and Sora saw her steal glances at Hayner who was talking to Pence. Knowing that nothing could be done, Sora resumed talking to Kairi.
Then, the door burst open revealing none other than Riku!
Seymour sighed, "Is this going to be daily routine, Almasy? Just because you have a 'fangirl' problem does not mean I can excuse you from being late every day!"
Riku didn't say anything as he took his seat. Sora glanced at his best friend, and then shook his head, turning his attention back to Kairi, who was telling him about a stunting accident in cheerleading once where she broke her ankle.
'You know, I don't see what's so great about cheerleaders. They're so vain.' Roxas commented bluntly.
'Shut up! Kairi's not like that! Besides, what do you know?!? You probably didn't even attend school back then!' Sora snapped, offended that Roxas was talking about Kairi that way. He was sure his alter ego would not appreciate it if he talked bad about Naminé, right? So it was only fair to give respect both ways.
'You're right. I'm sorry.' He said half-heartedly, as if he really didn't mean his apology. Sora didn't want to waste time arguing with Roxas, so once more, he fixated his attention on the auburn-haired girl in front of him.
"Wow, that must have hurt." Sora said when she finished her story of how she broke her ankle in cheerleading.
Kairi laughed and nodded. "Yeah, but what hurt most was not being able to compete. I wasn't able to even ice skate or anything. I felt so useless."
"You're not useless!" Sora replied, shaking his head. What a defeatist attitude. If it was anything to ever NOT do, it was to have a defeatist attitude. You'd never get anything done that way.
"I guess you're right." Kairi just sighed, running her hands through her hair and getting up as the bell rang. Sora sighed as well, going to collect his books and going right out of homeroom.
While going on his way to his class, he was busy arguing with Roxas(about who knows what; those two bicker like brothers) so he was not paying attention to where he was going. When he snapped back to the world, he realized he was about to step on a girl who had obviously not been paying attention either, and had bumped into him.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Sora said, helping up the girl who stared at him strangely, not letting go of his hand.
'Oh god, fangirls!' They both screamed, Sora wondering how to get out of this. Instead of the girl, who looked like a freshman, attacking them, she gasped and hugged him.
"Uncle!" The girl shouted happily, everyone in the hallway stopping dead to stare at Sora strangely.(Their thoughts were, 'Uncle?!? Does that mean that Olette isn't as young or good as everyone believes she is?!?') The brunette just laughed nervously.
"Um...I'm sure you have me mistaken for someone else...run along, little freshman." He said, and the girl frowned and took out a flashcard.(For some reason, the flashcard seemed nostalgic to Roxas, but he didn't remember why...)
"Sora, right?" She asked, looking back and forth between Sora and the flashcard. Sora nodded slowly, and she nodded happily, "Yep! You're definitely my Uncle!"
'Oh, I know who that is now! That's Marlene...my half-brother's daughter.' Roxas stated, 'Ask her how she's doing.'
"Marlene, right?" Sora asked. Marlene nodded happily and let go of her 'Uncle'. "So, how has the 'two years' been?" He didn't want to say 'two thousand years' because then people would probably think he was nuts and try to place him in a mental hospital.
'She's a demon, right? I mean...no normal human would be alive after this long of a time...' Sora asked.
'No. She used to be an angel, but after complications arose she became fully vampire. That's why her eyes are the color of blood.' Roxas repliedand Sora did indeed look in her eyes. They were as crimson as blood as his alter ego stated.
"Um, it's been pretty good!" Marlene answered, picking up her books and walking beside Sora. "After school...I need to tell you some things. They're really important...um, meet me in Gippal's classroom immediately after school, okay?"
Sora nodded, watching Marlene run off. 'What's a vampire doing in my school? That makes me really nervous...what if she starts sucking my blood?!?' Sora panicked, not surprised that vampires existed. He was kind of used to the supernatural interfering in his life now-a-days, but he had never met a vampire before.
'I don't think she will, her cover would be ruined. Relax, Sora.' Roxas said, sighing, 'you're such a worrywart.'
'Am not!' Sora argued.
'Don't tell me we're going to start this again...you're such a child.' Roxas stated, sighing. As if Roxas were the mature one...
'Am not!'
'Are too!'
'Am not!'
'Are too!'
'Am not!'
'Are TOO!'

If you'd be willing to send it to me, I'd be eternally grateful!), and The Riddle by Five for Fighting while writing this chapter. Yes, I do listen to a lot of songs while writing chapters.
Um...what else do I need to say? Um...oh yeah, I was wondering if I should change by Penname. I'm starting to hate it, it is way too long for my taste. If I do change it, I would change it to what I originally had it, Lunar Seal. What do you guys think I should do? I mean, you guys would still be able to call me HnH if you wish, or LS or even WS if you're an old school fan of mine. (Haha)
Oh yeah! That also reminds me. I'm writing a one shot, and as of now it's a Kaiora. The pairing may change...but, anyway, that will most definitely be up before next chapter(most likely). If you want to check it out and review, that would be awesome. :D But, the point of letting you all know is not to self-advertise, but to warn you guys that next chapter(chapter forty! Woo-hoo) may not come out for some time.
